Introducing Run Code Event
With the new Run Code event, you can now write custom JavaScript to control game objects, the camera, scene behavior, and more, right from within your events.

Run Custom Code at Any Point in Your Game
We’ve always believed that Pixel Stories should give creators the freedom to build their worlds without limits. But we realized something: while our visual event system is great for accessibility, it can also become a bottleneck for advanced users.
Inspired by the flexibility of command-line tools and frameworks like Phaser (which Pixel Stories is built on), we’ve introduced a new way to break past those boundaries: the Run Code event.
This new event lets you inject your own JavaScript directly into your game. That means full access to the Phaser game object, open-ended control over game objects, camera, scene behavior, and much more. Want to shake the camera? Add a screen effect? Spawn enemies based on dynamic logic? Now you can.
Instead of building a growing library of plugins that risk conflicts and complexity, we’re giving you the power to customize behavior in small, focused pieces, similar to other game engines.
Whether you’re an experienced developer or just starting to learn, this unlocks a whole new layer of creativity in your game.
